Staffing levels: ‘the elephant in the room’ KRISTEN DOUGLAS CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR

Council wants city staff to look into downsizing city hall.

At its financial planning meeting Tuesday night, council requested a staff report outlining options to cut staffing to save $247,000.

At the beginning of the session, Coun. Andy Adams wanted cuts of up to $500,000 but by the end of the evening, that amount was reduced to reflect the service cuts made throughout the meeting.

“The intent of the motion is not going year to year but solving the problem on a regular basis,” Adams said.

Originally, Mayor Walter Jakeway put a motion on the floor to cut $800,000 out of the city’s 2012 budget through salary reductions.

But council nixed that idea, saying it would affect the service level that residents have come to expect.

“It is the elephant in the room, in my opinion,” said Coun. Claire Moglove. “We just went through an 18-month SOCP (Sustainable Official Community Plan) process...and from the 1,500 people that came to those sessions I heard that they want a liveable

city; they want quality. If we reduce staffing it has to impact services.”

Coun. Ryan Mennie said council will have to increase taxes if the community wants to keep its Continued on A3

Budget: Councillors chip away at $2.4 million deficit

Participants in last year’s Walk Away From Racism make their way around the downtown streets. Meet at the Community Centre on Saturday at 10:30 a.m. for this year’s march.

Walk Away From Racism Saturday 16th annual event begins at 10:30 a.m.

result of the happenings of March 21, 1960.

At a peaceful demonstration against the apartheid “pass laws,” police openly fired on and killed 69 people in Sharpeville, South Africa.

For the past 16 years Campbell River has been uniting on the closest Saturday to this day to support individuals that experience racial discrimination.

This year on Saturday, you are invited to join hundreds of Campbell River residents on their walk away from racial discrimination, towards

The United Nations nominated March 21 as the International Day for the Elimination of Racial Discrimination.

On that date in 1966 the General Assembly called on the international community to strengthen its efforts to eliminate all forms of racial discrimination.

The proclamation of this day was a direct

a more inclusive and fair community.

The event starts at 10:30 a.m. at the Community Centre on 11th Avenue.

It will be kicked off with a social gathering and live multicultural entertainment, as well as face painting and activities for the children.

At 11 a.m. the walk will begin with a short welcoming and introduction to the day, and at 11:20 a.m., participants will gather outside the Community Centre to commence the one-kilometre walk through the downtown

core.

As participants return to the Community Centre they will be greeted by more l ive m u l t i c u l t u r a l enter tainment, an amazing performance

by CR DanceXtreme, the opportunity to try Zumba and more.

Complimentary snacks and beverages will be served by wonderful volunteers.

For more information, please contact the Immigrant Welcome Centre of Campbell River at 830-0171 or the City of Campbell River Recreation & Culture at 250-286 -1161.

Continued from A1 services.

“First I have to emphasize what some folks want to forget – we’re dealing with a shortfall we saw coming,” said Mennie who noted that during his election campaign he did not give any false illusions.

“I did not go out into the community raising false expectations,” Mennie said, alluding to Jakeway’s election platform. “It’s not possible to have a zero per cent tax increase. To go with having a zero per cent tax increase would be like having the arm or the leg of the city chopped off. It wouldn’t be fair for people to think zero per cent is possible.”

The city is how facing a $2.4 million deficit, which if borne entirely by residential tax payers, would equal a 16.04 per cent increase, or $190.94 per year for the average household.

Council has chipped away at the original $3.6 million deficit through a series of financial planning meetings which began at the end of January. On Tuesday night, council made further changes to balance the 2012 budget.

Council reduced curbside

yard waste collection from eight months to four (two months each spring and fall) in order to reallocate approximately $100,000 for general operations. The yard waste drop-off centre on Wei Wai Kai Nation land will remain open year-round.

Council also adopted a 100 per cent increase in park user fees (expected to generate $9,000 charged primarily to sports field user groups and for park rentals) and eliminated a 50 per cent discount for city staff, council and their families to use city facilities, such as the Sportsplex. Council also chose to allocate $300,000 from the city’s gaming reserve in 2012 to fund seasonal programs such as Centennial Pool.

Council’s next financial planning meeting is scheduled for March 27, 6:30 p.m. at city hall. The meeting is open to the public. Council welcomes input from the public into the budget.

Mayor unveils ‘scheme’ to erase a multi-million dollar 2012 budget deficit KRISTEN DOUGLAS year.”

Jakeway said he had a solution to the budget that would involve a zero per cent residential tax increase.

“I have a complete scheme of funding the financial plan without touching the gaming reserve at all,” said Jakeway, after council committed to stop relying on reserves to balance the budget by

this year’s budget.

“There are so many projects that are feels goods and nice-to-do’s that don’t need to be done,” Jakeway told council at the city’s financial planning meeting. “There are a lot of ‘carry forwards’. Delete them.

If they weren’t good enough for us to do last year, they’re not good enough to do this

CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR

Mayor Walter Jakeway lashed out at the city’s spending habits Tuesday night and revealed a plan he developed for reducing a $3.6 million 2012 budget deficit.

Jakeway was dismayed to see several projects that had been put off in previous years, inserted into

2015.

Jakeway suggested taking money out of both the operating and the tax stabilization reserves and putting it towards the deficit.

He recommended reducing the fleet replacement reserve by $280,000 as well as taking $160,000 from the storm drainage parcel tax and putting

both those amounts against the shortfall.

Jakeway also suggested deleting the city’s ‘carry forwards’ and using the gas tax rebates for downtown improvements.

“In other words, minimize spending,” Jakeway said.

“In 2012 don’t spend anything. Just keep it for us as we need it.”

Jakeway didn’t push the issue any further.

“Okay so I struck out here,” he admitted.

Jakeway, who said last month the budget planning process was taking too long and wanted things sped up, made a motion to add a fourth financial planning meeting to council’s schedule.

Council agreed to hold a financial planning session in conjunction with the council meeting on April 3.

Jakeway said right now council is “masking the (financial) problem” by moving money around in reserve (savings) accounts.

“We need to cut the cost of the function of this whole operation,” Jakeway said. “Let’s get down to the meat and deal with that.”

city could reduce the sewer operating reserve which would free up $1 million to go toward the budget deficit.

“When you’re all done you get a zero deficit and a zero dollar tax increase,” Jakeway said.

There were just a few problems with Jakeway’s plan.

Laura Ciarniello, the city’s manager of corporate services, said several of the reserves, such as the storm water tax, and the gas tax reserve (Community Works Fund) are very restrictive and can only be used to fund specific projects.

“You suggested the Downtown Revitalization Plan all be funded through the Community Works Fund but it would not be eligible,” Ciarniello said. “The sewer operating is also a restricted reserve, it

Rivercorp’s budget wishlist goes unfulfilled corp CEO, was asking for $784,625.

That figure was a $292,625 increase over the 2011 budget and included two new salary positions.

Rivercorp hoped to add an economic development officer (with a salary of $53,663 per year) to introduce a full-scale business and retention program as well as an economic development research analyst, with a $41,111 a n nu a l s a l a r y, t o assemble information and materials as well as identify and target specific businesses suited to Campbell River.

Goodman presented the Rivercorp budget to council Feb. 14 and

KRISTEN DOUGLAS CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR

Rivercorp’s 2012 budget is going to be substantially less than it was asking for.

Council allocated funds for the city’s economic development org anization at its financial planning meeting Tuesday night in a package that included a number of economic bodies.

The groups, including Rivercorp, Tourism, Creative Industries and INFilm received a combined $582,500 for 2012.

Rivercorp will get the largest chunk of the funding, receiving $235,000.

Vic Goodman, River-

at the time said those two positions would be key to Rivercorp’s success.

“The city has never had a fully-staf fed development of fice and the 2012 Rivercorp budget was designed to fill these gaps,” Goodman said. “When you look at the city’s overall budget it amounts to two per cent of the city’s overall budget for economic development, Tourism Campbell River and the Visitor’s Centre to go out and promote the city and grow it. When you look at it from that perspective I think it’s a reasonable investment.”

However, Goodman acknowledged at a

city committee meeting Feb. 28 that the two positions could be cut out of the budget.

On Tuesday, council chose to go with the smaller investment, but at the same time pledge its support of Rivercorp.

“They have a strong CEO leading them now and a strong board,” Coun. Ron Kerr said.

Mayor Walter Jakeway agreed Rivercorp seems to be on the up swing but warned he will be keeping the organization under close watch.

“I have no troubles with Rivercorp but I think I’ll give it one more year,” Jakeway said. “It needs to fly in 2012 or it’ll be under a

really critical review.”

Coun. Mary Storry did not support the Rivercorp budget allocated by council.

“Until we can fund their operations appropriately I think that we’re setting them up for another failure and that’s not fair,” Storry said.

Last year, Rivercorp came under fire from a couple of councillors, who aired concerns that the city was not seeing results from Rivercorp. Since then, Rivercorp has welcomed a new CEO in Goodman.

Despite that, Coun.

Larry Samson said he still has some concerns.

“I think it’s time we

go another route,” Samson said. “Businesses will come to town when it makes business sense to them and I don’t think Rivercorp will have a say in if an entity comes to town.”

BC Hydro wants to extend services to rural Strathcona KRISTEN DOUGLAS CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR

Bruce McKerricher and his neighbours use generators, solar, wind and micro-power to produce their own electricity.

They live off the BC Hydro power grid and if they want electricity, it’s up to them to generate it.

“It’s a different world up there,” says McKerricher, who lives in the Cedar Creek/ Upper Campbell Lake area, near Strathcona Park Lodge, nearly h a l f w ay b e t w e e n Campbell River and Gold River.

McKerricher and several of his neighbours hope to take advantage of a BC Hydro program that allows remote communities access to BC Hydro’s services.

The program is the Remote Community Electrification Program led by Rhea Halfnight LeF lufy who met with property owners in the Upper Campbell Lake area last May. A total of 85 per cent of property owners were in favour of hooking up to BC

Hydro’s power supply.

“Coming out of the meeting they asked to be a part of the program and we’re working with the residents to develop a community electrification plan,” Halfnight LeFlufy said.

A working group of seven property owners and two BC Hydro representatives are seeking to get formal support from all 90 property owners in the area.

Roughly 60 of those are recreational residents and 15 are permanent, full-time residents.

“We had a public meeting with about 70 or 80 people,” McKerricher said.

“And we had a mailout that reached 86 of the 90 homes. The response from that was pretty strong but no decision has been made.”

McKerricher said the next step is to have a formal process.

“If it is decided that we go, then it’s all or nothing,” he said.

“People who have land out there can’t say ‘I don’t want to pay because I have my

own set-up’ and then five years later decide to pay.”

Halfnight Leflufy said BC Hydro requires everyone’s full support from the get go so some residents don’t end up paying for the service longer than others.

BC Hydro would bear the costs of supplying power to the edge of the community and the land owners would then be responsible for electrification infrastructure costs within the community.

The cost for all the property owners to connect to the distribution line is a onetime fee of $750,000 or $10,000 per customer.

The working group has reached out to the Strathcona Regional District to put up the capital up front and then recoup the costs through taxes over a period of time.

The other option is for the residents to pay the money themselves, which McKerricher said would be extremely difficult. “ I t ’s i m p o r t a n t for people to know there would be no increase of costs to

other taxpayers in the Regional District,” McKerricher said.

“Our group would be paying for this. I think this would be of interest to the community of Campbell River to have that kind of resource out there.

Right now it’s off grid living.”

The BC Hydro grid ends at Quinsam Coal mine and one option is to extend that grid 26 kilometres to reach the community.

Or, Halfnight Leflufy said BC Hydro may look at a local solution, combining diesel generation and renewable energy such as

micro-hydro or wind power.

The working group hopes to hear back from the Regional District, which listened to a presentation regarding the project on Wednesday afternoon, by late spring or early summer.

McKerricher said he hopes the community will be able to connect to BC Hydro electricity by 2014.

BC Hydro is currently working with 18 communities across B.C. to supply its power. Since 2006 the program has supplied five communities with power.

Opinion

EDITOR: Alistair Taylor editor@campbellrivermirror.com

Our View

Underground utilities the way to go There’s really not much you can do about the trees that took out power lines all over Campbell River during Monday’s powerful windstorm. Except maybe cut We say: The city down all the trees in town. But, of course, nobody wants that. Campbell could stand to Riverites have shown they love their lose its ‘forest’ of trees, expressed in sorrow over the loss of an eagle nesting tree or power poles whenever someone cuts one down to improve their view sparking a neighbourhood crisis.

Plus there’s so many trees in the city, except for in

newer subdivisions where the tendency is to clear cut the property before building houses.

Trees are a fact of life in Campbell River and people, on the whole, like it that way.

So, to prevent some of the power outages caused by windstorms, we may have to look to the power lines for a solution, i.e., remove them, not the trees.

Of course, we’re not talking about getting rid of electricity or forcing everyone to be self-sufficient solar power producers – although the latter would be good for the environment. No, we need to look at a way to speed up the replacement of those old-

school power lines with underground services.

Ironically, new subdivisions can afford to retain trees because all services are put underground. But it’s an expensive proposition to replace power poles and lines. BC Hydro at one time had a program to replace them. Now you have to wonder if the cost to reconnect power to sections of the region that have lost it can help offset the cost of putting power lines underground.

Perhaps a senior level of government could help out or maybe even BC Hydro could do it in return for increased power rates?

Letters

In support of Raven Coal A vocal minority is threatening the economic potential of Northern Vancouver Island. At a time when many jobs are being lost the Raven project is a tremendous opportunity.

I strongly encourage miners, contractors, suppliers, students, and business owners to visibly support Compliance Energy’s Raven Coal Project located west of Buckley Bay, BC. Regulators strongly seek local opinion. Unfortunately much of the input, by coal watch and other extreme environmental groups, is negative.

The anti mine protesters, seem to forget the cars they are driving to meetings were made with the use of metallurgical coal for the steel frame. The bridges and ferries they are transporting their cars on were made with steel produced by coal. The healthcare, social benefits and government services they enjoy are financed by taxing the earnings of resource based industry.

This determined group now selfishly attempts to preserve what they perceive to be a pristine environment from the evils of coal mining. The fact that the area of the mine has been clear cut logged several times and coal has previously been mined in the area without today’s environmental controls seems to have been conveniently forgotten. The watershed in question has numerous road cuts, gravel pits and rock quarries made by logging companies which did not even have Continued on A9

Logger Mike’s common sense for facing life’s storms

Conversations with Mike

By Paul Rudan

This arrived by mail the other day which immediately caught my attention because very, very few people actually send mail anymore. It was addressed: Ol’-what’s-his-name c/o Campbell River Mirror Campbell River (where else would the Mirror be???), B.C. The name on the back read: B.L. Mike Spar Pole, Downtown, Campbell River, B.C. Inside was a letter for fans of Big Logger Mike: I face the sea for a reason, you know, cause that’s where the big winds come from. This way I can see what’s comin’ at me!

For instance, just the other day dur-

ing that lil’ blow, I ducked two flying fir trees, four old election signs and a flock of wind-blown Canada geese.

Heck, if was lookin’ the other way, I’d be getting beaned constantly in the back of the melon!

Don’t think this ol’ helmet could stand up to such a beatin’ and it’s not like the city is going to buy me a new one either. Nope.

My point is, when the wind blows you have to face that storm head-on.

And I’m not just speakin’ about wind storms, you hear me? The way I see it though, it doesn’t seem many folks do know that anymore. And so, this ol’ feller is going to tell ya.

You see, when I was just a wee feller my Ma and Pa didn’t have much back in that ol’ logging camp. Oh, they

had the things that were important: a solid roof over our heads, food on the table, a yard to play in, and a lot of good books which Ma read to us every night before bed.

We didn’t have TVs or cable, no video games, no computers or idiotic handheld devices, heck, we didn’t even have a phone. But you know what, we were never bored. We made our own fun and there was always somethin’ to do. And if you stood around trying to do nothin’, Ma and Pa always found somethin’, usually work, for you to do.

And it wasn’t like we were broke or didn’t have any money. Times were pretty good compared to when Ma and Pa were kids. You see, they lived through the Great Depression when

folks really had nothin’.

They learned to use every little thing they had and never wasted a dime, not even a nickel, on frivolous junk. When they raised me, they taught me to work for my money, save it and then buy what I needed... in cash cause there were no stupid credit cards. That’s what got me my first jalopy, which got me my first gal and she became my wife. Not bad, eh. But I’m getting side-tracked. The point is, when you don’t have a pot to do your business in, you don’t go out buying fancy clothes when your kids are starving.

You also don’t go raiding city hall’s piggy banks – which are there to save for stuff you’re really going to need Continued on A9

to be permitted. Over the years nature has and will reclaim these industrial sites.

The government ministries responsible for permitting are treating the project location as a highly sensitive area and are committed to an exhaustive review process. They have a comprehensive set of regulations which will only allow mine construction after exceedingly thorough investigations have proved no damage to the environment will result before during or after extraction of coal from underground. The project is highly in need of input from the “FOR” side in order to bring some balance into the equation. The world is still hungry for energy; if this coal is not mined here it will be mined somewhere else with far less regard for the environment than on Vancouver Island.

| CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR | FRIDAY, MARCH 16, 2012

Seniors continue to be victims of classic scam Scam artists continue to target British Columbian seniors through deceptive ‘sweepstakes’ opportunities that come through the mail.

It’s an age-old trick and unfortunately seniors continue to be victims of this type of scheme.

March is Fraud Prevention Month and the Province is teaming up with Consumer Protection BC to provide tips to help British Columbians avoid becoming victims of these types of fraud.

This is how the scam works: Martha is 82 years old and lives alone. She receives a letter in the mail saying she has won $2.5 million.

All she has to do is send $30 in the mail as a ‘processing fee’ and include personal

details, such as her telephone number and birth date.

Martha takes some money from the bank, pops it into an envelope and sends it off. Not only is Martha out some crucial money from her limited budget, she has also been added to a ‘sucker list’ and receives more and more offers like this one in the mail.

Of course, she never sees any winnings.

Just last year, Vancouver Police broke up a lottery mail-out scam that was pulling in thousands of dollars a day from seniors around the globe.

Here are some tips to protect you and your family from deceptive mail-outs and lottery scams:

Do not pay up-front for any prize. A legitimate prize offering will never require you to pay anything.

Be suspicious of free gifts.

Be careful if an offering asks for you to send personal information.

Before responding to a company you have never heard of, contact organizations such as Consumer Protection BC, Canada’s AntiFraud Centre or your local Better Business Bureau to see if they have received any complaints about the company.

Do not fill out surveys or questionnaires asking questions about gambling, puzzles or sweepstakes.

If you are getting rid of documents that have your

personal information on them (e.g., bills and bank statements), shred them.

Do not be fooled by glossy and colourful mail-outs.

Scam artists are professionals and know how to make things look real.

Sit down with family members who might be vulnerable and explain how these types of scams work.

Remember, if it sounds too good to be true, it probably is.

March is Fraud Prevention Month – know your rights!

And yes, I’m aware that the Harvard study of class size and performance I mentioned last week examined charter schools in the United States. I understand that “charter school” is considered coarse language in B.C. As with health care, there must be no serious competitive dynamic or other dangerous experimentation permitted within the unionized state monopoly model.

And thanks for suggesting I’m an agent of the B.C. Liberals, who invented poverty 11 years ago.

East Van MLA Jenny Kwan touched on it in the debate on Bill 22. Children coming to inner city schools hungry, inadequately clothed, with lice.

Abused children.

I can assure Kwan that these tragic realities are not confined to the hellish B.C. Liberal era of spending increases.

Indeed, I witnessed all these things in my threeroom school in Tomslake, B.C. in the 1960s. Social Credit was to blame then. I remember the school more for its great teachers than its undrinkable water or alcoholic principal.

ILLEGAL ILLEGAL DUMPING DUMPING Seems like a new dumping spot (or an old favourite) is active on an old logging road leading away from McIvor lake. The site is only 5 minutes away from the Lion's Beach parking lot (the big sandy one at the end of the lake - the big public beach). Interestingly, Styrofoam is not recyclable in Campbell River, because it is "so light and bulky" and so not cost effective to transport to a processing centre. By the same token, taking it to the landfill instead of the forest near McIvor Lake would cost $4.00.

So clearly in this instance, is the landfill fee really a factor?

Wood stove exchange program returns Options available to help finance and plan wood stove upgrades Back by popular demand, Campbell River’s Wood Stove Exchange Program encourages residents to upgrade older wood stoves to CSA/EPAcertified wood, pellet or gas heating appliances, with 40 rebates available from March 1 through April 30.

A total of 75 exchanges have occurred since the program began in 2009 with $250-rebates available on a first come, first served basis. The continuation of this program in 2012 is made possible through $15,000 in grant funding secured from the BC Lung Association.

“As the burning season starts to wind down, this is a good time to consider switching out old uncertified smoky appliances with a high-efficiency wood, pellet or gas heat-

ing appliance,” says Councillor Larry Samson, liaison to the City’s Environmental Advisory Committee. “In addition to City rebates, savings offered by participating retailers and manufacturers make upgrading a wood stove a cost-effective and an environmentally sound decision.”

A summary of air quality surveys conducted in 2010 and 2011 will be available for the public in an upcoming report as part of this year’s program.

“While we are pleased to see that levels of fine particulate matter are generally very low, the preliminary results also confirm that there are a number of low-lying areas within the City that are ‘hot spots’ for wood smoke pollution,” says Ron Neufeld, the city’s general manager of operations.

The Vancouver Island Health Authority (VIHA) recognizes that fine particulate air pollution generated by older wood

stoves contributes to many types of respiratory symptoms, respiratory illnesses, and decreased lung function. From a public health perspective, fine particulates are considered to have the most impact of outdoor air pollutants.

With the woodstoves exchanged through the program to date, an estimated 4,650 kg of fine particulate air pollution has been reduced each season based on provincial criteria helping us all to breathe a little easier.

“Wood burning is at the heart of the Canadian identity,” says Peter Woods, Chair of the City’s Environmental Advisory Committee. “By exchanging old wood stoves for certified appliances, residents of Campbell River can continue this longstanding tradition, while also reducing pollution levels not just in the community, but in the greater air shed as well.”

Burn It Smart, wood pile pride education and outreach

events will take place throughout the Wood Stove Exchange Program.

Program details will be available soon and will be posted on the city’s website and in local newspapers.

The Wood Stove Exchange Program is administered by the City of Campbell River in partnership with local retailers, the BC Lung Association, the Province of BC and the Hearth, Patio and Barbecue Association of Canada. Participating retailers include Bennett Sheet Metal & Heating, Just Wood Stoves, Quality Stoves and Fireplaces Ltd and Guardian Chimney Services.

Information on the Wood Stove Exchange Program and wood heating is available on the city website (www. campbellriver.ca).

Residents who would like to participate should contact Amanda Taylor at the City of Campbell River at 250-286-5721 or by email at amanda. taylor@campbellriver. ca.

Most recently, Tenore has been invited to perform in Ottawa for the 2012 Prime Minister’s National Convention.

Tenore consists of three vibrant and superior tenor voices – Shane Wiebe, Jason Catron, and Mark David Williams. Having performed in concert for over 30,000 people with national televi-

we are able to hit the stage and share these treasured and timeless songs.”

Catron ag rees, “These songs are a natural fit for us - both in voice and heart, which allows us to effortlessly lead and connect with so many in singing new arrangements of these great classics.”

Tenore will perform for roughly 90 minutes with a 15-minute intermission.

Tickets can be purchased at Cornerstone Gift, Book & Music, the Discovery Church Office, online at TicketWindow.ca, or at the door. Visit www. singtenore.com for more information.

Sing! Events is not just tenor talent. It is a powerful musical event, showcasing talent from a pool of well-known and up and coming artists, coupled with audience participation, singing tunes we all know and love.

It creates a profoundly moving experience of thousands of voices singing together.

“I have always envisioned a project where people would join in on singing choruses together,” said Siemens. “It doesn’t matter if you have a crowd of 5,000 young people

thundering We Will Rock You or a 5,000 strong congregation singing How Great thou Art, there is something therapeutic, powerful and indescribable in thousands of voices joining together.”

Wiebe, a former topfive contestant on Canadian Idol whom Lionel Richie once described as a “talent that is unrivalled,” believes the song choices are what endear audiences to Tenore. He notes, “What’s interesting about our music is that the melody is always very familiar, allowing audiences to sing

FRIDAY, MARCH 16, 2012 | CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR |

AgriMarine reports damage to B.C. demonstration tank in severe storm AgriMarine’s Middle Bay demonstration farm in Campbell River sustained damage from the powerful wind storm that hit the coast of British Columbia on Monday.

The severe storm that brought winds gusting over 130 kilometres per hour caused extensive damage to Vancouver Island, affecting the Company’s farm as well as other coastal operators. The extreme weather conditions compromised an outlet panel of the demonstration float-

ing rearing tank and may have allowed some storm related losses.

The Company took immediate actions to contain the damage and an early assessment confirmed that there was little impact on fish health.

Although there was some structural damage to the upper part of the tank, the Company is pleased to report that all back-up power, oxygen supply and monitoring systems operated as designed throughout the storm related power failure

and that all mooring s y s t e m s re m a i n e d intact.

“This was the largest storm in recent memory and by far one of the most destructive we have ever experienced,” said Robert Walker, President of Ag riMarine Industries. “Prior to this extreme storm event, the demonstration tank successfully withstood over 13 months of challenges from the marine environment in Campbell River as it was modelled against 50 year storm data.”

Walker added, “We have already implemented design changes for future marine tanks with more stringent manufacturing criteria based on the results of the environmental loadings on Tank 1.”

While the Company is conducting physical inspections and an internal review to assess and mitigate the structural damage, management is taking all the necessary steps to minimize impacts and improve manufacturing and design processes for further

installations.

An interim report has been filed with federal authorities, and a full report will follow upon receipt of more in-depth assessments by our technical team.

About AgriMarine Holdings Inc. Canadian-based Ag riMarine is an aquaculture technology company engaged in the development, commercialization and licensing of proprietary solid-wall closed containment systems for the rearing of finfish.

Mainstream farms come through unscathed Despite one of the most violent storms to hit Vancouver Island in years, Mainstream Canada suffered no injuries, no fish escapes and no major damage to any of the company’s ocean farm sites.

“Thanks to the skill of our employees, and our best management practices, our farm sites weathered the storm without incident,” said Laurie Jensen, Mainstream Canada’s Communications and Corpo-

rate Sustainability Manager.

The Monday storm rocked most of the coast, with winds reaching up to 137 kilometres per hour. The seas were also rough and there were many hazards in the water, judging

by the hundreds of logs littering the shoreline the day after the storm.

Mainstream Canada grows salmon in 27 sea sites near Tofino, Campbell River and Port McNeill.

Drive Smart BC Got Your Quota Yet?

2X14

It was a jab that I heard often at the roadside and some days I really wanted to respond to it. “Yes, thank you. Yours means I get a new toaster!” Somehow I don’t think the driver would have seen any humour in it.

Seriously though, I have only been subject to a quota twice in 20 years of traffic policing. Near the beginning of my service I was limited to no more than 30 percent of my total charges being speeding tickets and at the end I was required to complete at least 6 impaired driving investigations per year.

Sadly, it was harder to limit the speeding tickets than it was to find impaired drivers.

This topic surfaced again a couple of weeks ago when I heard from someone who was not happy to learn that police officers had to have preferred at least 10 impaired driving charges in the calendar year to become a member of Alexa’s Team. This person had been stopped for speeding, but was surprised to have the constable first ask if he had been drinking. He left with what he felt was an undeserved speeding ticket that was used as an excuse to find impaired drivers. This is a conflict to be a public servant and a member of any group requiring enforcement minimums to join.

Following what I considered to be good management practices, my supervisors had to pay attention to numbers. All other things being equal, if I was bringing in 10 tickets a shift while my co-workers were all bringing in 20, someone wasn’t doing his job. What would you do with an employee that you were paying who wasn’t producing a reasonable output?

The author is a retired constable with many years of traffic enforcement experience.

FRIDAY, MARCH 16, 2012 | CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR |

Businesses prepare for proposed John Hart project BC Hydro has initiated the procurement process for the proposed John Hart Generating Station Replacement Project with a Request for Qualifications (RFQ).

BC Hydro will take some time to review the interested bidding teams and eventually shortlist them down to three before issuing a Request for Proposals (RFP) this summer, said Colleen Evans, executive director of the Campbell River Chamber of Commerce. It is antici-

pated the work will be awarded in summer 2013, with construction immediately following.

BC Hydro has been actively talking about the procurement process with the Campbell River community and Island business leaders for several years.

The primary reasons are to ensure the local and re gional businesses and suppliers are aware of the project, and that they have a chance to promote their businesses for potential project oppor-

tunities. This proactive engagement approach led to a major projects web portal site (http:// cr.majorprojects.ca/), one of the first of its kind for a community.

The site was developed by the Campbell River & District Chamber of Commerce, with involvement and support from BC Hydro, the Vancouver Island Economic Alliance, and the Vancouver Island Construction Association. The site went live in fall 2011, and to date, approximately 150 businesses

have registered within the site’s database.

BC Hydro will foster economic development for First Nations, the Campbell River community and the surrounding region with a preliminary estimate that the project will require about 2,000 person years of work. The upper estimated full cost of the proposed project is $1.35 billion.

BC Hydro and community business leaders will continue to update the community as the project evolves.

concurrently with the procurement process, with key regulatory agencies including the British Columbia Utilities Commission and Fisheries and Oceans Canada. A key part of these approval processes will rely on the ongoing consultation with First Nations, and engagement of government agencies and stakeholders.

The proposed project is to construct a re placement water intake at the John Hart Spillway Dam, replace the three 1.8 kilometre

long pipelines with a 2.1 kilometre tunnel, construct a replacement generating station beside the existing station, and a new water bypass facility. The earliest construction would begin is summer 2013, with minor preparation work such as trail re-alignments and road access beginning this summer through spring 2013.

BC Hydro is working towards having the first replacement generating unit in-service by 2017, with project completion in 2018.

JEFF NAGEL BLACK PRESS

A three-week postponement of the Missing Women Inquiry leaves the commission even less time to finish its probe of how police mishandled their investigation of serial killer Robert Pickton.

Commissioner Wally Oppal on Monday announced the hearings will be suspended until April 2 while a new lawyer is found to represent aboriginal interests before the inquiry.

Robyn Gervais, a Metis lawyer, had represented First Nations but resigned last week, citing the dominant influence of the large number of lawyers acting for RCMP and Vancouver Police officers.

Oppal had planned to wrap up hearings by the end of April and must hand down his findings by June 30.

A replacement for Gervais has been identified and should be in place soon, but Oppal said the new lawyer will need time to pre-

He called Gervais’ departure a surprise but said it’s crucial the inquiry have a representative for aboriginal interests since many of Pickton’s victims were aboriginal, as are many vulnerable residents of Vancouver’s Downtown Eastside to this day.

Oppal has repeatedly urged inquiry participants to minimize the time required as a series of delays and lengthy cross-examinations ate up time.

Attor ney General Shirley Bond said she expects Oppal to meet the June deadline, which was already extended six months.

“We’ve been at this, it will be a year and a half, and at this point we are in excess of $4 million of taxpayers’ money,” she said. “So while I don’t want to rush the process, I think there is a reasonable expectation that this work should be completed in June.”

Bond said a balance must be found between the need for an appro-

priate length of time and for fiscal responsibility.

“While it is an important opportunity to hear aboriginal voices and the context for aboriginal people, the major reason for this inquiry is to look at what happened with the police in British Columbia.”

Grand Chief Stewart Phillip, of the Union of B.C. Indian Chiefs, said it will be virtually impossible for a new lawyer to “parachute into” the inquiry.

He said the deadline threatens to sideline the remaining aboriginal witnesses because many police officers must still testify before time runs out.

Phillip accused the gover nment of irreparably harming the inquiry last summer when it rejected Oppal’s request for broader funding for lawyers to represent First Nations and other vulnerable g roups, causing most of them to pull out.

“Because of the shortsightedness on

the part of the provincial government and the premier’s office, the inquiry has completely unravelled and lost all credibility,” Phillip said. “This is not about fiscal prudence, this is about missing and murdered women, the vast majority of whom were aboriginal.”

Much testimony has explored how both the VPD and RCMP failed to target Pickton more intensively after he nearly killed a woman who escaped from his Port Coquitlam farm in early 1997.

Of ficers also got re peated tips that Pickton could be killing sex-trade workers from the Downtown Eastside in 1998.

He was finally arrested in February, 2002 and was eventually convicted on six counts of second-degree murder, although the DNA of 33 victims was found on his farm and Pickton boasted to an undercover cop he killed 49 women.

One of his victims was Marnie Frey of Campbell River.

Planning for Life Changes Prepare for Disaster

2X14

No one can prepare for a disaster like the one Japan recently faced. But the crisis serves as a good reminder to be ready for less shattering events, such as blizzards, hurricanes, and earthquakes that toss a bit of chaos into your life.

Diane Rogers Being prepared can make the difference between cruising through a crisis or being completely at the mercy of fate. Here are a handful of essentials culled from groups that know best--emergency planning organizations.

PLANNING FOR LIFE

Cover the Basics • Food – have a three- day supply of nonperishable food.

• Water – three-day supply per person Toolkits • Know where and how to shut off water, power and gas.

• Have tools and flashlights at each key utility spot.

• Have a first-aid kit at the ready and prescription drugs ready.

Event-specific planning Areas prone to natural disaster – such as earthquake, wildfires etc. you can get specific info from FEMA (www.fema.gov/plan/index.shtm) FAMILY PLANNING Point person – identify an out-of town person who can serve for communication. Make sure the point person know your plans and make sure all members know the point person and contact info.

Special needs – for family members requiring assistance check ahead of time these two quick reference guides – www.frem.gov/plan/prepare/ specialplans.shtm and www.ready.gov/america/ america/getakit/seniors.html Have a plan for pets –food, medicine and toys.These suggestions should all be expanded upon and researched into order to be prepared adequately.

but I don’t know,” Bowerman said. “We’ll just have to find something we can afford. I would like to have another trailer though because I really enjoyed living in it.”

Bower man also thinks highly of Shelter Bay Resort.

“The folks have been really nice to us, it’s a very nice place to live.”

The Mirror first caught up with Bowerman last May when she

CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR

Jean Bower man awoke at 6:30 a.m. Monday to the sound of a tree crashing through her home.

“I heard ‘bang!’ and the whole trailer shook,” said Bowerman who lives in an RV with her husband at Shelter Bay Resort.

Wayne yelled ‘get the hell out of there!’”

In the midst of one the biggest storms in years, a Douglas fir had crashed through the back end of their 28-foot Travelaire.

Bower man was asleep at the front of the RV while Wayne was standing in the kitchen making coffee when he heard a loud crack.

He went to investigate and just as he got out the door, the tree landed on their home, crashing into the kitchen and crumpling the stove.

“If he hadn’t moved the tree would’ve been right there on top of him. He wouldn’t have made it,” Bowerman said.

Unfortunately, the Bowermans did not have insurance and the RV cannot be fixed.

The couple managed to salvage some clothes, their bedding and food while their power was out, but as of Wednesday afternoon the power was back on and the Bow-

took it upon herself to go around town with donation jars to collect money to buy a scooter for an ailing friend.

Now it’s Bowerman’s who’s in need.

But she is not the only victim of Monday’s powerful winds.

Monday’s epic storm wreaked havoc all over the city. In one incident, a tree fell onto a modular home, trapping a 10-year-old boy between the roof structure and the furniture.

Firefighters rescued the boy, who was not seriously injured, within 30 minutes.

At Timberline school, a tree came down into a classroom minutes after school had been cancelled. The destruction has caused the displacement of classrooms to portables.

Numerous vehicles were also damaged by falling trees, with one report of a trucker being trapped in his vehicle.

KRISTEN DOUGLAS/THE MIRROR

Wayne and Jean Bowerman were lucky to escape uninjured after a Douglas fir crashed onto their home during Monday’s storm. However, their trailer is unrepairable and they are now looking for a new home.

ermans couldn’t get in the RV because a live wire, brought down by the tree, was hanging precariously on their home.

The couple is now homeless but have been temporarily taken in by a neighbour. It’s a small space – a Winnebago – but it’s a roof over their heads.

“At times Wayne and I have been homeless and we bought this trailer and said we’d never be homeless again and guess what?

Now it’s gone, just like that it came down,” Bowerman said, getting choked up.

But she is putting things into perspective, “We would’ve been dead if the bed was on the other end.”

After the tree went

down, Bowerman said she made it to work at the Husky gas station on the Island Highway, only to find there was no power.

“We went down to the ocean with the truck and the spray was so high that I think it scared me more than the tree,” she said.

Now the Bowermans are waiting to get back in their RV to take what they can. Bowerman said she’s not sure where her and her husband will go.

Atom Tyees on top of the Island Members of the Browns Bay Packing Atom A Tyees hockey club celebrated winning the Island title last Sunday in Victoria.

The Tyees opened the weekend on Saturday in Parksville. The Oceanside Generals opened the scoring just three minutes into the first period, but the Tyees answered back with singles from Jalen Price, Davis Frank, Dakota Sinclair and Noah Fladager.

Assists for the first period would go to Cole Devlin, Bryce Narhi, Gordon Ludvigson, and Coulsen McCartney. Oceanside would get one more goal, but Campbell River led 4-2 after 20 minutes.

Four more Tyee goals

would be scored in the second period, with a second goal for Price and two from River Fahey. Grady Robertson would round off the scoring with assists going to Kayle Majic and Owen Parker.

The final period saw Oceanside push back with three goals, but the Tyees scored two more from Fahey and Ludvigson for a comfortable 10-5 victory.

Sunday’s final game against Victoria proved to be an intense battle, with both teams coming out strong. Owen Parker opened the scoring for Campbell River with Price following suit shortly after for a 2-0 lead.

Fahey tallied his second of the game with assists going to Fladager and Narhi, then Fladager scored on a tip from a Logan Chapdelaine point shot,

with the helper going to Brendan Almer.

The two teams played to a 3-3 draw.

Follow the Tyees’ quest for a B.C. championship The No. 1 Auto Body Bantam A Tyees are more than ready for the B.C. championships which begin this weekend in Trail.

The Tyees thrashed the Cowichan Valley Capitals 14-3 in an exhibition game played last Saturday in Duncan. Campbell River was led by right winger Grady McInnes who scored six times, including a natural

hat-trick in the third period. Linemate Travis Goodwin also notched a hat-trick.

The Tyees open round-robin play in the eight-team tournament on Sunday, 10:30 a.m., against Fort St John. Fans can follow the Tyees online at www.BCHockey.net. Click “Championships” and then “Bantam Tier 2.”

But the Hurricanes took command and skated to a 6-3 victory to advance to the next round.

On Sunday, the girls faced Peninsula which beat Campbell River in two of the team’s three losses this season.

With the Island banner on the line, Hurricanes’ coach Dennis Bellevance struggled with some last minute line changes to corral the hottest player on Penisula’s team.

The girls jumped on the ice to the blast of the Campbell River Storm air raid siren – provided by Kevin and Linda Spooner – but it was Peninsula which came out fast and scored just 30 seconds into the game.

However, the Hurricanes gained momentum five minutes into the second period when Martine Thompson scored a beauty goal, assisted by Cassidy Bellavance and Rebecca Manson.

Wi t h t h e s i r e n drowning out Peninsula’s wimpy horn, the girls took their first lead of the game on Bellavance’s marker, assisted by Thompson.

! d e v i r r Just A 3x3

Thompson then scored to open the third period with assists going to Manson and defender Alyssa Palmer.

With just two minutes left in the third, Kylie Scammel scored to seal the deal for Campbell River with

the assist going to Bellavance.

Peninsula would also score once in the third, but the Hurricanes held on for a 4-2 victory to claim the championship.

Hur ricanes’ goalie Jaydlin Sponner also made three

huge saves in the final frame to help the team take home the banner for a second straight year.

Many thanks to the Coaches Dennis Bellavance, Chris Jochimski and Dwayne Oke for all their time and patience.

Plan the decoration of your baby’s room well ahead of his or her arrival. It’s much better if the painting and wallpapering is finished at least a month ahead of the birth. Favour calm and comforting colours, such as pale blue, tender green, tortoiseshell or old rose, to allow baby to sleep well.

be useful for very long, unless you opt for something more adaptable which the child can use over a longer period of time.

What’s important is to create a cosy and comfortable place for your baby to sleep peacefully.

If the choice of furniture is made primarily according to your tastes, the crib and the mattress should always be chosen to ensure the safety and comfort of the baby. Choose a stable crib with a good solid flat bottom, drop sides at least 20 cm above the mattress support when lowered, headboards and footboards at least 60 cm high and slats with spacing of between 4.5 and 6.5 cm.

Choose a very firm mattress, well adjusted to the size of the crib. When choosing a changing table, think about getting a model big and functional enough that you’ll have everything close to hand and will never have to leave baby alone on the table.

On the other hand, you can add some elements which will help to develop baby’s senses. As the ceiling and the top of the walls are the parts of the room which the baby sees when in bed, you could integrate geometrical forms in contrasting colours.

You could install a wallpaper border with a colourful fresco and some mobiles over the crib. Linoleum is a good choice of floor covering as it is warm and easily cared for.

When you’re choosing furniture for your baby, keep in mind that it probably won’t

Beautiful dining

The new square table surrounded by armchairs gives a beautiful effect as well as being very comfortable.

Evan

The dining room is gaining in importance as we return to the traditional family gatherings or dinners with friends. If you have an eating area in the kitchen and the dining room is reserved for more formal occasions, it could be a great place to decorate with elegance or imagination. To organize your dining room in an original and attractive way, the first step is to choose a table which corresponds to your needs and tastes. It should normally seat six to eight guests. You could opt for a rectangular table, the classic choice, or a round table, very versatile, which breaks the monotony of straight lines. If the dimensions of the room allow for it, the new square table with eight places will create a spectacular effect.

The style of the interior decorating will guide your choice of model and material. A combination of an antique style and solid wood or natural stone, such as granite, marble or slate will make the basis for a

traditional decor. The attractive combination of metal and glass is a beautiful basis for the creation of a modern decor. The different combinations of materials make for a vast range of models, giving you lots of choice when looking for just the right table for your decor. For example, the structure of the table can be chosen from the many different varieties of wood while the surface could be in glass, metal or marble.

While some dining room sets include both the table and the chairs, others can be combined according to your tastes. Put the emphasis on comfort. You can combine upholstered chairs with two armchairs placed at either end of your rectangular table. For an original style, you could follow the trend of different coloured chairs, either different shades of the same colour for chairs covered in fabric or wood chairs painted in pairs (two green, two blue, etc.)

A shower of information about gutters Gutters help by protecting your property from potentially serious problems such as cracks in the foundation or water infiltrations.

Gutters must have a uniform slope towards the drain pipes so that there will never be a big accumulation of water when the gutters are not blocked.

In fact, unless a mixture of rain and snow is involved, water should never accumulate in the gutters. The gutters should also be able to handle a normal amount of precipitation without overflowing. It is, therefore, important during heavy rains, to check that your gutters and drainpipes are working adequately.

Choose the best and healthiest materials Today’s homeowners are more concerned about their living environments than ever before. They also have more resources to create the living conditions that they desire.

Using healthy construction materials is one way to improve a home’s air quality. A good example of this is the use of spruce for building walls. This type of wood grows quickly, making it an excellent sustainable resource. It also has the lowest chemical composition of all the softwoods.

Drywall reinforced with fibres produces very little dust and releases a minimum of volatile chemical substances during installation. The use of low density PVC foam tape and low emission draught-proofing will ensure air tightness between sheets of plasterboard. These two products will eliminate draughts and are the most successful in keeping pollutants and humidity out of the home. They also reduce heat loss by up to 75 percent.

Aquariums are becoming more and more popular.

In fact an aquarium can be an interesting focal point for those who know how to integrate it into the decor.

For maximum adaptability and accessibility, choose floor coverings made of wood or tiles. Use rugs rather than fitted carpets. Hardwood parquetry and no-wax vinyl tiles are floor coverings that have a permanent finish and require very little care.

High efficiency forced air furnaces, heat pumps, and integrated combination heat and hot water systems ensure the precise and economical control of air and water temperatures in modern homes. Heat recovery ventilators help recuperate 70 percent of heat from stale air, improve the quality of room temperature air, lower heating costs, and ensure a continuous influx of fresh air into the home.

The Tropics in your living room… thanks to an aquarium!

Pay particular attention to your choice of materials.

Jim HUMPHREY

Aquariums aren’t as square as they used to be; they’ve become much trendier! Aquariums now have more modern designs: integrated into wood or varnished furniture, corner units, or all-glass with spherical contours, etc. It’s easy to make an aquarium the central point of a living room or a dining room.

The aquarium brings warm tropical waters direct to your living room.

If aquarium distributors have been pouring over their design tables, some furnishing stores have also included unusual aquariums on their order forms.

It’s not out of the ordinary, therefore, to find the most audacious of models not at the pet store but at a furniture retailer. Even more proof that the aquarium has become a popular item in interior design. However, before opting for one of these stylish aquariums, be sure to check that the filter and other equipment is working properly and is easily accessible. If this breaks down it will have to be replaced to prevent the marine habitat from dying.

After bringing it home, comes the task of decorating the interior of the aquarium. It’s recommended to do some sketches and to try different things before introducing the water. Once it’s filled with water it’s almost impossible to change the decor. For a spectacular result, the exterior of the back glass can be painted black. On a dark background, the effect of depth is more accentuated as are the bright colours of the fish, the plants and the corals. www.campbellrivermirror.com

Dining area is open to a gourmet kitchen lavished in granite, an abundance of custom maple cabinetry, massive centre island & built-in stainless steel appliances including 5 burner gas cook top, b/i convection oven, b/i warming oven and b/i convection microwave.

It’s with comfort and elegance in mind that bed linen is becoming more and more important in the choice of a decorating concept. The atmosphere of a “grand” hotel is sought after so much that some on-line boutiques have made it their speciality. Luxury bed linen doesn’t pretend to be eccentric; plain and natural shades are preferred. It’s appreciated rather for the quality of its percale, its antibacterial properties and for its satin feel.

Those aspiring to the “luxury hotel” trend while appreciating graphics and colours can choose a flowered sheet. In fact, floral prints are fresh and new and will be the trend for 2009. It is now possible to slide into a bed of flowers without feeling as if you’re at grandma’s house. Themes are softened and highlight spectacular flowers such as the poppy and the geranium. A riot of colour, irregular patterns, alternating positive/negative photographic images and Japanese-inspired styles are all really popular.

$149,900

Great main level entry family home with over 2700 sq. ft., 4 bdrms, 3 baths, living room, family room and a den. Very private setting with green space behind south facing yard. This home has been well maintained with beautiful hardwood flooring, large oak kitchen with eating area plus a dining room. This is the perfect home for a large family as it is on 3 levels providing good separation of functions.

Sunny & cheerful 2 bdrm, 2 bath home in Storries Beach area. On a .26 acre corner lot & is in move-in ready condition. Recent upgrades include an electric forced air furnace (3yrs. old). Enjoy the open concept kitchen, eating area, and living room. Master bdrm has the convenience of a 3 pce ensuite. Storage shed on the property, lots of room for your boat or RV and property taxes are quite low making this a very affordable home. MLS #324363

Patio doors: above all think quality Nowadays, patio doors are available in a vast range of styles and models to suit all budgets and tastes. However, their quality can vary a great deal, making a big difference in the comfort levels they provide. So when you’re shopping for patio doors, make quality your priority.

First of all, check for air and water-tight seals, resistance to pressure due to high winds or breaking and entering, as well as ease of use. A high-performance, quality patio door will spare you from having problems with condensation, frosting and icing on the glass. What’s more, you shouldn’t be able to feel any cold draughts when you are near the door during the winter months. Models with four panels are recommended as they are energy efficient and soundproof.

A sturdy, wide frame made from solid pine and covered with an extrusion of rigid and durable aluminum on the exterior of the

door ensures excellent quality, solidity and structural strength. It’s important to have an air space under the extruded aluminum cladding in order to avoid deterioration of the wood.

A thermal PVC barrier, If you need privacy, installed between the panels, choose patio should avoid temperature changes doors with produced by the conductivity of stained-glass windows. the extruded aluminum cladding from spreading the cold to the inside.

A door sill of extruded aluminum ensures good resistance to damage due to high traffic. Also, as a smooth rolling action is very important for a patio door, you can opt for a nylon roller system which will glide smoothly as well as being non-corrosive.

Another great advantage these days is the vast choice of colours, enabling the door to blend in with the colour of the exterior cladding or with the roof of your home.

Laying a table: seven errors to avoid Laying a table should always be done with loving care. Here are seven errors to avoid while setting the table to entertain friends and family.

Get out the Sunday best Don’t use the every-day dishes. Go with originality and choose fashionable styles such as stoneware, square dishes, frosted or transparent plates.

No labels please!

Oil, vinegar, salt, pepper, sauces, butter and sugar: original packaging should be consigned to their usual place in the pantry. Look for a more formal way of presenting them. Get out your little bottles and bowls, carafes, soup tureens and your most elegant serving dishes!

250-286-1187 www.listingsincampbellriver.com glenda@listingsincampbellriver.com

Hi there!

Don’t use high table centres which prevent guests from seeing and talking to each other.

Just too much!

Candles should always be unscented so they don’t overwhelm the delicious smells of your cooking.

Water in the wine Water is drunk and wine is tasted: to serve them in the same glass isn’t very classy! If two wines are to be served, don’t hesitate to put out two wine glasses for each guest; one for white wine and the other for red. One more tip: use real wine glasses as opposed to balloon glasses.

Out with the plastic If you don’t have a fabric tablecloth, it’s better not to put anything on the table rather than using a plastic tablecloth or, even worse, a paper one.

Specialists in dream kitchens If you have loads of great ideas for your future kitchen but you have no idea where to start, why not talk to a kitchen designer.

with computers using virtual design techniques that allow clients to preview the results without spending thousands of dollars.

The kitchen is the central area in many homes; it is where family gathers and where guests first sample the personal style of the homeowners. Because of that importance, many consultants today are specially trained in kitchen design and conception. They have different skills ranging from design and ergonomics to cabinetmaking, carpentry, and installation.

Working with a kitchen designer is an opportunity to name your dreams for your home. Because these professionals design tailormade cabinets adapted to your requirements, they will be able to personalize storage areas and maximize available space. If you’re dreaming of a gas stove but think you don’t have enough room, or if you’d love to have culinary heat lamps, refrigerated drawers, or a professional restaurant-style kitchen, a kitchen designer will help you adapt your dreams to your budget.

Above all, kitchen designers are advisors. They meet with clients and build a concept to suit the style of the family, taking into account budget, space, time, and personal needs. Most designers work
